the fact that graded stock raising is the
only safe nucleus to speedy success
'and financial PRESTIGE
Among the reasons why stock rails
ing can be pursud . SO lucratively is
that it costs nothing but labor to pro-
vide shelter. Thousands of tons of hay
and straw are burned here every year
which can we'll be appropriated to the
purpose of providing shelter and fod-
der for stock. And again, pasturage
and hay cost but little aside from the
labor employed in preparing and car
ing for them. Hence it follows that an
energetic, industrious, systematic and
enterprising farmer finds bright success
aons of the'inevitables, and that he, too,
will soon rise to an elevated plane Of
financial independence, condition
wrought by his own sturdy hand on
the fertile soil of Stevens county,
In order that the subject with which
we are dealing be made more compre-
hensive and that Done may doubt the
credibility of the facts made plain. we

GREAT POSSIBILITIES.
No county SO admirably located as is
Stevens, inhabited by so thorough
an aggressively energetic people. can
fail to catch glimpses, in the vista Of
not far distant ages, of the glorious
dawn of metropolitan affluence. The
acknowledged secret of the matter is
that our developement as county has
been So gradual and of such marked
stability that we must conclude that
trade and traffic, the honest maker and
mistress of great fortunes and infiu-
ence, knows no retrogression when
erected ON so firm foundation. The
county possesses the nucleus to that
which controls markets, erects grand
edifces, produces elements of natural
life, and all the requisites of an emf
nent domain, all of which work har-
moniously to our future ascendency
and is making Stevens county a grand

Figures Cannot Lie.

In the year 1886 there were 235, 500
tax able acres in Stevens county, ex-
elusive Of town lots. OF this amount
there was less than one fifth improved.
That is to say. there were nearly
zoe. 900 acres of this property. which
was yielding taxes, lying dormant,

pasture acreage, which for our pres.
cnt purpose, is inconsiderable. Can
any one roughly estimate the wealth
producing capabilities Of these rich
and willing acres when each receives
its lust share Of Intelligent and
honest cultivation! When this globe
of ours in the dim future shall become
crowded, how much of the seething
population Of those days will Stevens
county support! Surely much more
than its proportions based on mere
acreage. In the happy meantime,

Signal-Copiahan. (Hazlehurst, Copiah County, Miss.) 1885-1888, 1887-02-24
ELECTRIC SIGNALS.
A Perfect System of signaling Adopted by
an Eastern Railroad.


The Lowell Railroad Company Is
having a new system of electric signal
ing put in operation on the Arlington
branch road. 1t consists simply of a
generator of electricity placed in the
engine and cOnncc;cd with the rails by
device to convey the electric current
TO the generator. In the cab over the
head of the engineer are placed gong
and target, which works something
after this manner: When train is en-.
tering upon srctiuu uf 'oad tho safety
signal is given il the tracks are all
clear aud the rails all in place and un-
broken. the switches and draw-bridgcs
all closed and locked; but should there
be train or hand-car, or any other
obstruction upon the track. n rail brok-
en- or displaced. switch or draw-bridgc
open. target will appear before the en-
gincer, upon which are the words
danger. stop" This target will re-.
main until the trouble is removed, or
until the entrance is made on the next
section. At no time can an engineer
approach danger within less than dis
tancc at which he can stop his train OF
bring il under perfect control.
The arrangement is such that il is i'm.
possible TO receive safety signal I'm.
less every thing is in condition for him
to proceed. A failure of the battery or
the breaking of any OF the electrical
connections will Immediately sound the
langcr-alarm and cause the target to
appear.
Another advantage which this sys.
tenn claims is that of ringing signal
bells at all crossings and depots with.
out additional expense, one set of bat
tcries performing all the work. Again,
it provides for brakcmen by noti-
fying them of the approach of the train
20 bridges, tunnels, or other dangerous
points overhead, thing not thought
of in the other electrical railway sig
nals.-BoStOn Globe.
